Is there anyone from Canada who can help?

I live in Turkey. I am physiotherapist and very good at it. I got job proposal from a hospital in Vancouver. They offered me 10000 CAD monthly salary. I wonder how is this money in Canada? Is this enough for living or not? House for rent, food, transportation etc. Are these requirements expensive in general?

That's about 120 000 a year, which is a very good salary. There are high income taxes however, and living in Vancouver is pricey. Consider living a bit out of downtown where it's a bit less expensive, but overall, that salary is definitely enough.

Taxes may be 30% though, so you end up getting only 7000 a month.. Rent about 2000, public transport 100, groceries and food 500 (approx bread 3, apples 4/kg, etc), clothing 200 (approx shirts 20-30, pants 40-50)... So that's like maybe 3000/month or less once you get settled. The rest can go into your bank

Cost of living is pretty high in Vancouver, but I would imagine that 10K/mo would more than cover everything that you need. Renting should be better than buying and I would advise that you live away from the city centre, but that's more than enough money.
